Women Circle
Why we gather as women?
Menstruality is both a woman’s unique Calling or Power AND the evolutionary path by which she realizes that Power. (The Red School)
Cycle consciousness is a practice of yoga, and you’re yoking your awareness with your inner rhythms and how those rhythms connects you to cosmic and outer rhythms. It’s important to study anatomy and your hormones , and the language
Its the sacred wound. Bleeding again and again, and always regenerating
One Way to describe this cycle is that it’s a movement of energy.
WE are cyclical beings , we are not the same woman week to week
The trauma around the bleed, what does menstruation mean?

Since Time immemorial women have been each other's best teachers, most transparent mirrors , and most loyal support system.
Our intentions in creating these spaces is to raise awarness about our cyclical nature. And to raise awareness about cycle consciousness. And to raise awareness about the feminine principle. And to create a space where we use language to share about our own individual and collective womb wisdom. A space not for coaching and mentoring , but a safe container where we are witnessed and where we learn together and from each other. Womb wisdom is the awareness and the understanding of the dynamic of the feminine principle.

"SHE CHANGES EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES, AND EVERYTHING SHE TOUCHES CHANGES. "
Our Seasonal nature mirrors the cycle of Mother Earth (Gaia) and as above so is below. Adopting cyclical awrness yokes and activates our inner authority and initiates us to take responsibility and ownership of our experience, and relationship with ourself and the world around us. The study of self is the study of the cosmos , especially us women as we are the gate keepers of humanity, as Allah honored us with the gift of the womb.

Sisterhood, All the underbelly , the dark, and the unspoken
As we keep carrying on the mother wound , and the sister wound , we will keep projecting it. The circle is a space to share and be seen. as sisterhood space where we evolved to keep a tight supportive witnessing heart as we shared our dark , un acceptable and rejected part that raises as feelings of competition, and worthiness , and jealousy. as we tune into our own body to read the inner wisdom we keep an open heart and a curious mind

What are the seasons like where you live on Earth? Relate to growing seasons of particular plants and animal life in your bioregion? Winter+Spring+Summer+Autumn seasonal cycles are JUST ONE MAP, not necessarily the energetic blue print that most resonates.
How we relate to our body is unique and personal. As we track daily or weekly our emotional (Sadness , anger, gratitude , joy , clarity, etc.) and physical changes (body temperature , hormonal cycle, liquid discharge, skin tenderness , food intake and cravings, ability to work out, etc.) and psychological changes (mood swings, ability to be with people), and energy levels, we become more familiar of our feminine cyclical consciousness. and as we appreciate and become more intimate with ourself, we become softer and more wise with life around us. and we learn that it is our responsibility to pass on this womb culture. Simply because of its uniqueness and magical creative and inspiring nature.

HOME (HEART OF MY EXPERIENCE)
The circle intention also is to activate the pattern mind, our inner permaculture (permaculture: Perminent culture), when you’re working with matter (mother) you’re yoking the wisdom of cyclical time. During the sister womb wisdom circle we are learning together and from each other about the basic simple introduction to cyclical time, based on looking at the 4 basic cycles in nature surrounding us ( menstrual cycle , lunar cycle , solar cycle, women life cycle). Our outer and inner realms are so intimately connected. It’s a quantum feedback system, and the practice of yoga (union) into this self study begins to yoke awareness with this cyclical process which will impact the process. Awareness alone affects the outcome, and the input.

Its important to give language to parts of our cycles that has been ignored or not taught.
We grow up in a culture that doesn’t teach us the wisdom and knowledge sourced in our basic anatomy, giving a word to our nature or part of a cycle , and getting a bit more granular & specific in describing the nature and texture and feelings of each part of the cycles through out the month is empowering and is a story that each one of us gets to uniquely experience and share.

Death and Rebirth
In the luteal phase for example, when progesterone is higher when the egg hasn’t been fertilized , the egg begins to die , it begins to disconnect from the uterus walls , and you shed the egg and the entire walls of the uterus when you are bleeding. Its the sacred wound. Bleeding again and again, and always regenerating. You regenerate a new womb every month the same way a lizard can parthenogenetically reproduce its arm.

THE MOON, ELECTROMAGNETIC GRAVITY, THE MYSTERY & THE WATER
The lunar cycle , the whole process encourages mystery and mysticism. Something all our ancestors practiced. They used to be very content, and comfortable with the unknown. And very connected with patterns of the moon, even our Islamic calendar is based on the moon cycles. We can correlate the rise of energy during the follicular and ovulation phase with the waxing moon, gaining light, gaining insight, and more clarity , and more confidence and being seen.

BUT REALLY what’s happening? you're a beautiful bloom in process.
The trauma around the bleed, what does menstruation mean? Being forced into patriarchal rhythms , the circadian rhythm of waking up and doing exactly the same thing everyday. Not paying attention to or honoring what’s happening in the women’s body creates friction and separation and this is the playground of trauma. WHAT IS PMS: Pre Menstrual Syndrome, we were told in our luteal phase women start to become irritated and agitated , maybe they gain weight and get bloated and get depressed. BUT REALLY what’s happening is that we are not given the chance as women to surrender to the energetics of our luteal phase.
Your hormones and your body signals are asking you to slow down , shift prospectives, your vision is shifting , your interests are shifting .
